Over two pots of tea and a tray of snacks, the couple chatted about current events, gossip, people they knew, their lives, and their children's education. Chu Yiqing had a rare free afternoon. It turned out that she and Wang Jianan had a lot in common; it just depended on whether they were a team.
At the end of the conversation, Wang Jianan ate his tea and snacks and mumbled, "Don't forget to call Chu Ci. Middle school students in Kyoto are not children. Our Kyoto men also like to meddle. Tell him to stay out and stop talking nonsense in school. Just a reminder."
Chu Yiqing said firmly: "Don't worry, our family is very conscious. There is no need to remind them. I am the one with the lowest consciousness."
It really follows what Chu Yiqing said...
Liu Yafang stocked up a lot of food and drinks, asked Bi Tiegang to drive the Santana into the yard, and strictly ordered no one to go out to watch the fun or take a walk, and then closed the door tightly.
She listened to her daughter and made one thing clear: no matter how noisy the place was, it was none of her business.
On the day when the commotion was at its worst, Bi Sheng's school was closed for the holiday. He was already receiving a call from Chu Ci.
Chu Ci bit an apple and warned Gou Dan'er on the phone:
"The arcade is a messy place, so even if we want to play, we should hold back. If we really need to go out for a stroll, don't go out in groups of three or five. It will be troublesome if we get stopped and questioned."
Gou Daner nodded repeatedly and replied in agreement:
"Didn't my sister buy us a bunch of study materials? Chu Ci, let's study hard and make a splash in the final exam. Don't worry, my sister is a celebrity who loves newspapers, and I can't cause her trouble just because of playing. You have to be more careful, because my brother-in-law is a soldier and your family is not an ordinary family like mine. "
Chu Ci hummed a few times and felt relieved. After hanging up the phone, he found his grandmother looking at him:
"Grandma, what's wrong? Are you missing your great-grandson again?"
Old Mrs. Chu smiled with wrinkles on her face:
"My good grandson, this is how it should be. Just remember, what happens outside is none of your business. You see, I don't care if you don't study well.
You are not a good student in this life, your brother and sister-in-law can make you live a hundred times better than others, but if you go out and show off this time, no one can protect you.
Look at how busy your uncle is, as we all have soldiers in our family. It doesn't matter who's involved or not. This is completely different from grandma's fortune-telling."
By mid-May, social order in Kyoto was in chaos.
For the Chu and Bi families, Chu Hongtian has not been home for several days.
Bi Tiegang has one more job to do at the Bi family. Buying too many houses is also a burden, and he has to go and check them every day.
Because there have been more thefts recently, some cars parked outside have been smashed.
Another week passed, and Kyoto City imposed martial law regardless of its regions.
The next day, the Chinese People's Liberation Army issued a letter to the citizens of Kyoto, informing them that troops were stationed there to maintain public order.
As soon as the troops arrived, Liu Yafang and Goudan interfered. Bi Yue was furious when she heard about it while holding the phone, although she knew that her mother and brother were right.
How did Liu Yafang and Goudan get involved?
With so many soldiers stationed there, the population has suddenly increased significantly. In order not to affect the normal supply of vegetables and non-staple food for the citizens, the soldiers have been eating compressed biscuits every day. Otherwise, wouldn’t the price of food be raised if so many people were to eat normally?
The commotion outside was very fierce. Goudan stood at the door several times and looked at the entrance of the alley. The rows of young soldiers standing guard were sweating profusely. Every time he took a peek and went into the house, he was in a bad mood.
That day, Goudan couldn't help himself and went home to mix dough and steam buns. Bi Tiegang was not at home, having gone to check on several houses. Liu Yafang knew what was going on. She looked at her son, ran to the front door to take a look, pursed her lips, and when she returned to the kitchen, she quietly reached out and steamed the buns.
With her help, things went much faster.
Gou Dan'er said in a hoarse voice: "Mom, from now on, if anyone says you are being unreasonable, I will beat him up. You are the most reasonable person."
Liu Yafang… “You’re just like your sister. Praising others sounds bad.”
After steaming three pots of steamed buns, Liu Yafang bravely gave them to the soldiers at the intersection. The soldiers were embarrassed to accept them, so she said:
"I don't understand anything else, I just know you're not much older than my own children. You're so young, and you stand for hours. Also, my son-in-law is a soldier, really. I won't tell you his name, everyone in our alley knows it."
The soldiers in this column were in unison and saluted in standard military salute.
So Liu Yafang was quite proud and wanted to show off to her daughter: "They saluted me and said thank you to the people of the capital. Dani'er, at that time I..."
The person on the other end of the line immediately started yelling, "Can't you just behave yourself? I don't want you to be praised, I want you to be safe and sound. There's all this looting and vandalism going on outside, so don't leave the house!"
Liu Yafang never expected to be scolded. She thought her daughter would praise her for her high awareness.
